New name

[kskye]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alabama

In the paperwork I have it asks if the wife wants to revert to her maiden name and what that is. Instead of reverting I want to change my first and last names to something completely different than my current and previous names.

Is this possible? Or are my only choices my married or maiden name?

Via the divorce, yes I believe those are your only choices.

However, you can file a petition, outside of the divorce, to completely change your name. Do you realize though just what a pain in the neck that is going to be to change everything in your life to your new name? Think it through carefully.
